 * Hello jjmz,
 * That was probably my bad because I assumed a PHP version >= 5.4
 * The problem is due to how arrays are defined in PHP < 5.4. You can read more 
   information about that following these links:
    - [PHP Parse/Syntax Errors; and How to solve them?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18050071/php-parse-syntax-errors-and-how-to-solve-them/29505827#29505827)
    - [PHP : syntax error, unexpected ‘[‘](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19206928/php-syntax-error-unexpected)
 * I will fix this tomorrow, but in the meantime if you want to try it, just modify
   syntax for any array created in runtime like this:
 * `['item1', 'item2']`
 * For this:
 * `array('item1','item2')`
 * In file loadgo-options.php, lines 385, 389, 394 and 407 specifically.
 * Sorry about the collapse, was totally my bad.

 * I’ve already uploaded a fix for this issue and all should be working well in 
   version 1.2
 * If you have any more troubles, let me know.
